At Zaun's base camp, Ike lies on the dusty ground without any fears, his face is sad, and even the cockscomb-like moxican hairstyle looks listless.

Zuan's state really sucks!

Ike's Z-drive is infinitely powerful, but the deterrent to those Alchemy Barons is extremely limited.

Yes, Ike can only draw a line that is too low for these guys to be lower, but other than that, Ike can't do anything else.

Ike was born and raised in Zaun, and his parents were the most ordinary Zaun workers - their goal, like thousands of Zaun workers, was to one day go to the great Piltover and become a glamorous member of the city.

But Ike doesn't think so - in Ike's opinion, the people of Zaun are no worse than the Pichengkees, and even if Zaun is given so many resources, Zaun will be more prosperous than Piltover!

There is no doubt that Ike is deeply in love with Zuan, and Ike would like to see a beautiful Zuan more than to be a member of Leather City.

But it's hard.

Even if there are a lot of like-minded people on Aike, even if Ike makes the Z-drive, even if Ike restricts the bottom line of the alchemy baron.

In order for Zuan to have perfect order, this imaginary is even more difficult.

Last month, a few more members of the Zaun Urchins didn't resist the temptation and moved to Piltover - the damned Pi Guys always offered a terrible price for Zaun's talents, and many of them left Zuan because of it.

But Ike couldn't go.

Ike believed that if he left one day, Zuan would be doomed.

But the house leak happened to rain overnight, and recently a guy named Mondo began to wander around Zaun, leaving one house after another in his wake - something Ike would never tolerate!

But after meeting Mondo, Ike sadly found that this guy was not only rough and thick-skinned, but also seemed to have unusual nerves - this is a man who likes to feel pain!

The unbearable pain in ordinary people is indescribable pleasure in Mondo, such a guy Ike really tried his best, but he couldn't kill it.

The guy who can run away after his neck is broken, Ike really can't help it.

At this moment, an alchemy baron named Saito Takeda approached Ike and offered a deal - as long as Ike helped test the depth of a guy, they would send someone to help Ike kill Mondo.

At least get him out of Zaun.

Ike didn't like to get involved in the affairs of the Alchemy Baron, but this time he had no choice, because according to Ike's own calculations, it would be absolutely impossible to keep Mondo on his own—even if all the Zuan urchins were added, the outcome was unknown.

In this case, Ike had no choice but to agree to this condition.

Fortunately, it was just a temptation.

Ike was in a bad mood, so he decided to give the unlucky guy a bit of a hard time - and So, the test site was chosen in Shimozuan.

……………………

This was Rhodes' first visit to Lower Zuan, and the unpleasant smell and cross-flowing alchemy sewage made Rhodes feel uncomfortable - the level of pollution in Dalaran was incomparable, maybe only the Undercity could compare with this place, right?

So, Rhodes decided to increase his asking price by another 50% – and you brought it on!

Located deep underground, in the natural crevices of the ground, this is the garbage treatment plant of Picheng and Upper Zuan, the laboratory of the alchemy barons, and the home of the vast majority of Zuan people - although in theory, Upper Zuan is also a place to live, but the housing prices there are unacceptable to the Zuan people, so Upper Zuan is mostly commercial land.

From the moment he entered Shimozu by the cable car, Rhodes entered Ike's field of vision, where Ike had countless eyeliner, and Rod's every move could not be hidden from Ike.

And Rhodes didn't want to hide it.

Just swaggered down the streets of Shimozuan, heading towards the agreed place.

Relying only on superficial observations, Ike did not find out the details of Rod for the time being.

In a sense, Ike sat in a well and watched the sky, with a small field of vision, and Ike, who grew up in Zuan, basically didn't read any books except for Hex's engineering training, and didn't know much about Valoran, and all his combat skills came from his agile skills and thousands of time backtracks.

Even Ike didn't fight the mage much, and he still had the impression of the caster as a thug of some alchemy baron - the guy from Noxus was in a hurry to deal with the attack and was quickly dealt with, but the incredible ability still impressed Ike.

That's a force that Hextech can't explain.

In this case, Ike made the most prudent choice.

As soon as Rhodes stepped into the agreed place, a sphere emitting white brilliance flew directly towards Rhodes.

Ike's Time Curl!

The Time Curler was flying fast, but it wasn't unstoppable, and Rhodes immediately turned sideways and brushed shoulders with it.

"Hooked!"

Hiding in the shadows, Ike shook his left hand, and the time curl suddenly deformed and grew larger, and then flew back in the direction of Ike.

And Rhodes is also on the flight path of the Time Curl.

It's blazing fast!

In Ike's opinion, this attack is the most restrained to those who cast spells, their spells are terrifying, but they are not well strained—especially on this kind of their own turf!

But contrary to Ike's expectations, Rhodes disappeared in place at the first time.

After losing its target, the Time Curl vanished, and then returned to Ike's hands.

What's going on!

Just as Ike was surprised, Rod's voice came from outside the house where Ike was hiding.

"Come out, boy, I don't want to be a demolition team!"

"It's ......" Ike frowned through the one-sided glass, "I didn't expose myself, this is cheating on me!" ”

Thinking of this, Ike was not born.

"You don't believe I've found out, do you? That- sorry, good fight! ”

The next moment, a huge fireball appeared in Rod's hand, and then smashed straight into the house where Ike was hiding.

Watching the huge fireball crash into his hiding place, Ike finally moved - he muttered a slang word from Zaun before activating his Z-drive.

Ike rushed out of the house and disappeared in place, and then almost instantaneously appeared behind Rod, and the Z-drive in his hand smashed down.

"It's now!"

Ike is very confident in his attacks, with the help of the Z-drive, Ike can't catch the speed of short-distance movements, as long as the opponent is not the kind of guy with rough skin and thick flesh, Ike will tell them why he is called a Time Assassin!

But the next moment, the excitement on Ike's face stiffened directly.

The Z-drive hit the target hard, but the target turned into a thick block of ice.

The huge shock made Ike's arm tingle, rubbing his eyes and backing away, Ike confirmed that the guy named Rhodes had indeed wrapped himself in ice in the first place.

The next moment, the ice faded, and Rhodes twisted his neck.

"It's my turn!"

————————

The Mage's Ice Barrier: Also known as the Refrigerator, is a defensive spell that instantly envelops the caster in a thick layer of ice, making it immune to most damage - and even allowing those who excel in frost magic to regain a certain amount of health.

Ike's Z-drive can help Ike move short distances regardless of time, and by reducing Ike's own time flow speed to the extreme, it can form an effect similar to teleportation, so as to achieve the purpose of sudden attack.

Sorry and good play from Hearthstone, the mage's favorite taunt before unleashing the Flame Explosion.
